About his great respect for Coach Tomey, who was the head coach of his hometown Arizona Wildcats throughout his childhood, Tyler said:
"I've known Dick Tomey for half my life, ever since I was about 10 years old. And he's a really good friend of one of my best buddies' dad. He's a good family friend too, my grandma knows him. He's just a great guy, great coach. He's just like Coach (Greg McMackin), he cares about you as a person before he cares about you as a football player." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Graunke attended the same high school, Salpointe Catholic, as Tomey's children."
